A baker mixes 214 pounds of sugar for every 38 pounds of butter to begin making the frosting. The baker uses 357 pounds of butter and sugar to start the frosting. How much sugar does the baker use?
Answered by oobleck
214+38 = 252
so, she uses (357/252)*214 = ____ lbs of sugar

or, as a proportion,
214/(214+38) = x/357
